crease angle: smaller instead of larger?
I've just downloaded the trial. Here's a quote from the manual:

Yep ............. something is not worded correctly there.
Confused wording. |

Re: crease angle: smaller instead of larger?
The manual sentence makes perfect sense for me, if it talks about the inner angle between 2 surfaces. And I suppose this is what it does

When I change the crease angle it seems to smooth the polys if they are less than the crease angle, rather than greater than the crease angle.

An experiment: Make a cube. Set the crease angle to 85. Then to 95. It is being "smoothed" at 95. But the "angle between adjacent surfaces" is 90 whether inner or outer. And 90 is less than the crease angle of 95. So the manual shouuld say "if this is *less than* the crease angle the surfaces will be smoothed". (Or should it be "less than or equal to"?) |
